fluttering night wind

Traveling all the way in a hurry, they rushed to the outskirts of Yongjing in three days and three nights. Bai Yansheng couldn't figure out the enemy's situation, so he ordered the army to slow down and set up camp fifty miles south of Yongjing, while sending out a large number of scouts to search for news.When it was almost evening, Tanma brought back a soldier, dressed in the clothes of Yingtian Mansion in Yongjing, who came in haste.He only heard him say: "The villain is a subordinate of Yang Nandang, the light chariot general defending the capital, and he was ordered to go out of the capital to find reinforcements."

Sun Jiren checked the paperwork he carried with him, and he indicated that it was correct.Bai Yansheng asked him: "How is Yongjing City, how many bandit soldiers are there, and how is the battle going?"

The man said: "The east and south gates of Yongjing have been surrounded for eight or nine days. They are like iron barrels. The villain came over the mountain from the west gate. The Meng thieves had 4 to [-] people. On the first day of the first day of the battle, we were defeated and killed more than [-] people. The above They were not ordered to go out of the city, but were ordered to defend to the death. Every day, many scouts were sent out of the city to seek help from various states and counties. The villain wanted to go to the nearest Zhongzhou, but Yangzhou was the first to come to the rescue."

Bai Yansheng's face was not the slightest bit happy, collapsed to death, there were 5 to [-] regular troops stationed in the capital, and it was easy to take down the Shu soldiers.Then he said, "I see, you can go to Zhongzhou."

The man turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped, hesitant to speak.

Sun Jiren asked, "What else?"

The man said: "The young one came out from the west gate and passed Sanchagang. He saw the Shu soldiers who were reinforcing along the way, escorting food, supplies, and stationed troops there. If the general has so many people in a hurry, they can catch up before dark. The opponent is only three 4000 people."

Bai Yansheng raised his eyebrows and said happily, "Where is the exact location and how far is it from here, please tell me clearly."

Meng Ziying was about to open her mouth, but Sun Shuye pulled him back to stop him from speaking.

The man gave the detailed location, and Bai Yansheng raised his sword and left, saying as he walked: "Ji Ren ordered 3000 troops to follow me to attack, Shuye and Ziying are in the formation, and you will lead the way. .”

Seeing the sound of white geese carrying the man's head and not turning back, Mencius Ying got out of the tent, got up anxiously to chase, but was pulled by Sun Shuye's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Brother Meng, please be safe. We are worried that we have nowhere to find the traces of the Shu army. Time to deliver it to your door."

It was only then that Meng Ziying realized that they had already seen that this person's identity was questionable, and that he spoke half-truths and half-false words, and he was planning to plan, but he was still worried: "If Brother Bai doesn't come back in time, the Shu army will take advantage of our haste to wait for him to be tired. What about the sneak attack?"

Sun Shuye shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "They have scouts and spies, and so do we. What's more, we are not very sure about everything. It's just a gamble on luck. If the halberd is broken here, it is also destiny." He ordered someone to fetch it. In a game of Go, I want to play chess with Mencius Ying to relieve boredom.

Ziying was restless, worried about the safety of Baiyansheng, and also worried about someone's sneak attack, so she didn't have the heart to play chess.It was getting dark, and the soldiers were ordered not to make bonfires, so they ate cold food early and repaired the fortifications.In the middle of the night, the sound of the white geese had not returned, and Ziying supported herself on the chessboard with one hand, feeling drowsy.Suddenly he heard the sound of killing and the flames all around, he was startled, looked at Sun Shuye, and came out of the camp, only to hear someone report: "About 5000 people from the Shu army came to attack, and the leader called himself Jianwei General Chen Sen."

Mencius Ying's heart sank.

Sun Shuye looked at his face and knew that he was an old man. He asked the soldier again: "How is the battle going? Has the trap you planted earlier worked?"

The man wiped the sweat from his brow and replied: "About half of it is effective, but the Shu army is twice as large as our army. There are so many people, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Sun Shuye turned to Meng Ziying and said, "Ji Ren left with Master Bai, can General Meng fight?"

Mencius Ying said, "Bring my war horse."

Sun Shuye bowed his hands and said respectfully: "General Meng is brave, and he whips the world. Seeing is worth seeing once."

Knowing that she was trying to provoke him, Mencius got on her horse, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll let you see it today!" Then she rode out of the camp.But on the wilderness, there are people turning their backs on their backs, and the flames are flickering, but there are dozens of white horses riding white horses at a hundred paces from the camp gate. The first person is silver and golden, with carved saddles and jade, holding a long sword, full of heroic spirit. It is in Yongcheng, Qingzhou. The son of Chen Yuanda, Chen Sen, whom the Defense Mansion had met.

Chen Sen was watching the battle, he saw that although the opponent had arrived here for the first time, he was already on guard, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for not being able to take the lead.Suddenly seeing a man and a horse coming out of Yangzhou soldiers, it turned out to be an old man, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Ninth Young Master, don't come here without any harm."

Mencius Ying was tens of steps away from him, shook his silver whip, and said: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. General Chen, the Yongcheng garrison mansion is far away. It is a pity that we couldn't tell the winner."

Chen Sen sneered a few times, and said loudly: "Meng Ziying, you defected against your father, and the evil in the world is at stake! Today I will clean up the door for the Meng family."

Mencius Ying just wanted what he wanted, so he rode his horse to fight with him.Both of them have tried their best to fight with Huajian faction, close combat, Chen Rumeng went on horseback to confront each other, but the two were at loggerheads.From horseback to horsebackfight, nearly a hundred moves were drawn to determine the winner. Meng Ziying saw that his face was full of pride and youthful vigor, so she deliberately sold an opening. Chen Sen was really fooled, and stabbed him in the shoulder with his sword. With force, the neck has been entangled with cold things.

Mencius Ying drew out her long sword and threw it on the ground. The blood on her shoulder expanded little by little. With a whip, she was tied up and put on the horse.

Chen Sen's eyes were red and he hoarse, and he also shouted: "Don't listen to him, kill all these court lackeys!"

The soldiers of the two armies were at a loss. Sun Shuye saw it from a distance, and he was overjoyed. He ordered them to fight and not to kill.

Chen Sen saw that the Shu army put down their weapons one after another and was captured with their hands tied. He couldn't help roaring and said sadly, "You might as well just strangle me to death."

Mencius Ying said from behind: "When I was in Yongcheng, thanks to your father commander who gave me a coffin, my friend was buried. At that time, I said that we would meet on the battlefield in the future. I retreated and asked the general to do everything. Now I will take this I'll sell you the favor. Let's go." Then he took the silver whip, returned the long sword, and jumped off the horse.

Chen Sen held the sword and looked around, feeling grief from his heart, he raised the sword and wiped it off his neck, the quilt Yingyan swiftly whipped him away, and said angrily, "I will die when I go back, why don't you let me die?"

Ziying looked at him and said: "If you listened to Chen Shuai honestly and escorted the grain and grass without causing trouble, how could you end up in this situation. Let you breathe, you owe your father an explanation."

Chen Yuanda's military law is strict, and everyone in the Shu army knows that it is true that he will have no good fruit when he returns.

Chen Sen glanced at him, gritted his teeth and said, "You also owe the Meng family an explanation."

Mencius raised her head: "I know, the time has not yet come."

Chen Sen slapped his horse and left with the remnants of the defeated generals.When he returned to his camp, he saw that there was not a single grain left of the food, grass, and supplies, and he regretted his mistake and howled to the sky.

Seeing that Meng Ziying let Chen Sen go, Sun Shuye didn't say anything. He even asked the military doctor to bind his wound, and ordered the soldiers to collect the weapons left behind by the Shu army.It was just dawn, and Bai Yansheng brought Sun Jiren back. It didn't take much effort for him to burn down Chen Sen's camp, but he went astray because of impatience on the way back, and he was late.Seeing that his camp was also in a mess, and seeing Sun Shuye welcoming him outside the gate with a smile on his face, but not seeing Meng Ziying, his heart sank, and he hurriedly got off his horse to ask.

Sun Shuye told the story in a few words, Bai Yan said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to allow Ziying to fight?"

Sun Shuye spread his hands, made a helpless expression, and said: "Brother Ziying volunteered to invite Ying, and my subordinates can't stop it."

Bai Yansheng frowned, and walked into the tent.

Sun Shuye was thoughtful behind.It really is a fan of the authorities.He was only worried, but he didn't want to think about how Ziying would stay in the army for a long time if Ziying and the Meng family were not cleared at this time.How do you deal with yourself?

Bai Yansheng walked around in the camp, but he saw the wounded everywhere, and the soldiers scattered. He never let down his heart when he burned other people's camps.A flatbed truck with corpses more than ten feet high passed in front of him. The corpses of Meng Jun on the top were all fully clothed and had no marks of swords and swords on their bodies, except for a big hole on their foreheads, blood had already flowed out. After everything, the master still dies with regret.

He suddenly felt the evil fire rushing up, and shouted several times: "A Rong, where is A Rong?"

Hearing a crisp response from a barbarian boy, he came out from behind the tent, with a rag tied around his waist and a spatula in his hand, dressed like a cook.

Bai Yan said with a straight face: "What did I tell you?"

Ah Rong was stunned for a moment, saw the corpse next to him, suddenly realized, opened his eyes wide and argued, "You mean you are not allowed to go into battle, and you are not allowed to use your sword, but they sneaked up on the door of the house. Could it be that I can't be cut down if I lie still?"

Bai Yansheng stretched out a hand and said, "Bring it."

"What?" Aron was startled.

Bai Yansheng held back his anger and said in a low voice: "Do you want to be beaten thirty times and then searched out, or obediently hand it over now?"

Ah Rong also raised his eyebrows, his eyes were menacing, and he looked at him for a while, his arrogance finally calmed down, and he reluctantly took out a slingshot from his arms while slandering.

Bai Yansheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Take out the marbles too."

Ah Rong took a deep breath, grabbed another handful of colored glaze from his waist purse, and placed it in Bai Yansheng's palm.Liulizi is colorful and colorful, and the jade is moving and the pearls are shaking, and they are spinning in the palm of his hand, making a pleasant sound.Bai Yansheng made a fist, put the bullets and bows in his sleeves, and said to the soldiers next to him: "He refused to obey the military order, so beat him with thirty slaps as an example."

"What! You're playing tricks!" Ah Rong was about to jump up to argue with him, but a soldier had already stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and Bai Yansheng walked back into the camp without turning his head, only to hear a series of mixed Chinese and Xianbei words behind him. Sentences, you don't need to listen carefully to know that most of them are curses.

When he entered the tent, he saw Meng Ziying showing half of his shoulders, and the military doctor was wrapping up his wound, so he hurriedly said, "I'll do it." Then he took the cloth strip.

Meng Ziying's face was pale, seeing him coming back without incident, she already guessed that he had won a complete victory, and there was a gleam of joy in her eyes, but she said worriedly: "I let Chen Sen go, do you blame me?"

Bai Yansheng bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Put it well! I don't have so much grain to feed the pigs."

Mencius Ying was relieved, but she frowned thinking about the future.Bai Yansheng fastened the cloth strips on his shoulders, took the shirt next to him and draped it over his body, and said, "What do you think Chen Yuanda will do next?"

Meng Ziying asked: "You have seen the other party's luggage, what do you think?"

Bai Yan said: "There are chariots and hooks, they don't seem to be pretending to be suspicious soldiers, but they really come to attack the city."

Mencius lowered her head in thought, and said slowly: "When I saw Chen Sen today, I also felt that he was really eager to make meritorious deeds. After being captured, he would lose all hope. But with my brother...Meng Ziyou's personality, he will never be so stupid. Such a situation. Could it be that there are other reasons? Why don’t you wait for the reinforcements from Zhongzhou to arrive before making plans, what do you think?” With [-] enemies against [-], it’s like hitting a stone with an egg, but now it’s a bit hard to get off.

Bai Yansheng laughed, patted his head and said: "Ziying is just joking. If I were Chen Yuanda, I would take advantage of these armies coming from afar and attack each of them before they met. It wouldn't be reasonable for me to delay the opportunity to kill myself. If this is the case, I will never fight again. Stop talking. Let's go to Sect Master Sun to discuss what to do."

Mencius Ying felt his thoughtfulness, so he was about to speak, when someone outside said, "General, Ah Rong wounded the executioner, snatched a horse and fled. Do you want to send someone to chase after him?"

Bai Yansheng said to the outside: "No need, just let him go."

Meng Ziying worried: "What if he leaks our truth to the Shu army?"

Bai Yansheng laughed and said: "That child was pampered at home since he was a child, and he was lawless. He remembered the revenge I slapped on the island that day, so he followed us and never found a chance to get it back. Now that the catastrophe is imminent, he ran away. .It’s also a smart one.”

Meng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, and put down a small stone in her heart.

The result of collaborating with Sun Shuye is to fight fast. Since there are not many people, it is necessary to send a surprise army to win. So after a brief rest, this small army stepped up to send people to contact Zhongzhou and Yongjing, while covering up the corpse of its companions. Continue to sneak.

After walking for a short time, I saw a horse in front of me flying over the ground. The man on horseback was wearing the clothes of the Shu army. The expressions of Mencius Ying and others changed drastically, and the soldiers were in an uproar. Don't be impatient."

That rider rushed forward, and the man on the horse clasped his fists and said, "Which one is General Meng?"

Ziying rode out and said, "I am."

The man untied a package from his horse, threw it over and said, "Chen Shuai said, this is something General Meng forgot, and ordered me to deliver it."

Ziying's tentacles were known to be bad, the package was tied loosely, but it fell apart as soon as it was thrown, and a bloody head rolled out and fell from Ziying's hand to the ground. It was Chen Sen's head.

Ziying was dizzy for a while and was about to fall off the horse. Bai Yansheng could see clearly, and she pulled the horse forward early to support him.Ziying's hands were stained with blood, she looked at the man blankly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Shuai Chen, what else do you want to say?"

The man rode his horse around in a circle, and said: "Tomorrow at noon, I will wait for General Meng at Shilipo outside Yongjing City." After speaking, he turned and ran towards the way he came.

Chen Yuanda even beheaded his son's head with a ruthless hand. He really wanted to kill him. Now that he is being stared at all the way, with the knife on his neck, there is no need to think of a way to win by surprise. Sun Shuye sighed inwardly, and ordered Chen Sen's The head was tidied up.

Bai Yansheng saw that Meng Ziying had kept his head down and said nothing, supported him by the arm and said in a low voice: "Ziying, if you..." Unexpectedly, Meng Ziying suddenly raised his head, his face was pale without tears, looked directly into his eyes, and said softly: "If I Here weeping bitterly, shrinking back, where do you put Sect Master Sun?" Before Chen Sen, why didn't they march forward on the heads of thousands of Linxi disciples?

Bai Yansheng was solemn in his heart, the two turned their heads at the same time, but saw that Sun Shuye commanded the people to set up camp on the spot and recharge their batteries, the thousands of people didn't hear a cough, and the soldiers' faces were full of generosity.They walked out of the Mingxiu landscape in Linxi together, and I don't know how many of them survived after the war.

The green hills are dangerous, even if there are flowers and willows, the mountains and rivers are sparse and boring, and there are endless sorrows.
